Hey all,
Im in the process of converting my recently seized V6 3.8 on my VR to a V8 and just looking for some advice or guidance. I've read up on heaps of other posts but wanted to see if there were different perspectives.
Firstly, I know most people will say dont waste your money and all that, I know its gonna cost a bit of coin, but the whole point is that I wanna start this from scratch and use it as a project.
Just basically want to ask 2 questions here.
1) to make sure im not missing anything ive thought of already, if I put a stock VR V8 into it, what else do i need to change? ie. trans, wiring, radiator etc etc
2) considering im doing this anyway, any suggestions for the best V8 to put in, even if I need to custom fit with mounts etc? Such as LS1 etc?
Thanks heaps!
